Summary
Committed job seeker with a history of meeting company needs with consistent and organized practices. Skilled in working under pressure and adapting to new situations. Working with youth inside the community as well as being active in the community has helped gain a sense of appreciation for the potential each individual has for success. Since the age of 12 I have been introducing myself to new ways to be involved and a positive influence on those around me in my community. Volunteer work with at risk youth, immigrants and others that may need support and guidance has been a huge passion for me as well. Ideally I want to leave a positive mark wherever I am able to.
